We stayed here in 2016, 2023 and now 2025.
I can not say enough about their efforts to make our stays the best experiences we had during our traveling around South Island.

This place was clean, quiet and comfy. We didn't like the step, narrow stairwell to drag our suitcases. Once in the 2nd floor living, kitchen and dining rooms, you have to climb another set of stairs to the bedrooms & bathroom.

I appreciated the friendly welcome at reception very much - and was also delighted that I got upgraded from a studio to a 1 bed unit. The units are showing their age, but everything was clean and tidy - plus the bed was very comfortable.

Power point in bathroom not working couldn't do my hair anywhere near a mirror, looked awful the whole stay. Staff did come to check it but was not able to be fixed during our stay.
Light by bed made sparking sound and blew first night. Other light by bed kept flickering.
Will ask when booking accomodation from now on if these things are checked before our stay as not being able to do my hair and feel presentable when travelling for a big event is a deal breaker.
Have stayed at bella vista in invercargill lots and never had issues like we did in christchurch.
